Along with Alabama, Hamilton also held offers from Illinois, N.C. State and West Virginia.

He plans to enroll in January.

"Football-wise, there are no worries. I'm not worried about playing time. I know I'll work hard and try to start as a free safety," Hamilton told UGASports prior to his commitment.. "I'm impressed with Georgia and its academics. I like the way the coaches stay on top of the players, make sure everybody keeps their GPA up and graduates with a degree."

Hamilton joked that he's a different person on and off the field.

Off the field, Hamilton describes himself as "goofy" until he straps on his helmet. It's then that a metamorphosis takes place.

"I'm mean on the field. If I hit somebody, I'll help them up but other than that I'm out there trash talking," Hamilton said. "It's defense. That's your job, to tackle people, to get them intimidated, so you can win on the defensive side of the ball. I'm that person."
